How would the UK react to the second coming of Jesus?

[Yarrgh]

What would Jesus have to do today to be recognised as the second coming? Even if you believe in him from the bible or church; it'd have to be some incredible event.

Does the second coming result in him having to die again for our sins? Honest question as I have no idea. I'm off to investigate what the second coming is all about, and also @emir 's claim that Islam expect it too. Be back in a while.

Lock the thread, we have already had the second coming ofJhC.

David Icke.

Turquoise shell suits were the new purple. And the poor lad just got laughed out of town.

Interesting question here, seeing how faithless the UK is becoming. But hypothetically if the second coming of Jesus were to happen in our lifetime, how would everybody react?

Oh you foreigners and your crazy made up stories.

The vast majority missed Jesus the first time round, the same for Mohammed.

Tales told by people that were simply passed on to others.

The modern equivalent is Twitter. Stories spread with very little or no foundation and become apparent truths. (just ask Siggurdson)

Don't get me wrong, living in a way that conforms to original religious ideals is probably a good thing, IE, Don't be a prick, be nice to your fellow man etc.

As for an actual Jesus? No chance.

Is he a right back?

I would argue that the old saying that death can be a good career move seems to hold true for religious figures generally, just as it sometimes does for musicians and other types of artists.

I'm not sure that dying for the sins of others is necessary. People seem to find that those sorts of stories resonate.

Islam and Christianity are the two major religions in the world, and they both believe in the second coming of Jesus.

They also believe in some bloke walking on water, and then another bloke splitting the moon in half and then married a 6 year old.

Not sure I believe a single word either of these 2 books state, and nor should anyone else.

I think we would be onboard with the idea if he could perform the miracle of getting us into Europe.

It is possible that some of these stories are not meant to be taken literally, or at least not by modern audiences, anyway.

It's also possible that these stories are indeed meant to be taken literally, by the gullible. Which they do.

The Quran and the Bible were written thousands of years ago - they weren't catering for modern audiences.

The tories would tax him and charge entrance fees to his talks, then sky would set up a TV deal. Only sky watchers would be allowed access.

If he teamed up with Benitez at GP and we won the league then I would believe in miracles…

 

[Mrtallywacker]

Surely we need @Mrtallywacker to weigh in

Thessalonians 4:16-17
For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.

From my brief reading up on this whole second coming malarkey. Don't worry about it as it's heralding the final judgment. If you're righteous under the celestial VAR, you're golden. If you're not, oopsies!
